I couldn't let the summer go by without posting another shot of our Great Lawn at Zilker Park. I love walking over there in the morning and taking some time to stare at our skyline framed by natural beauty.

These giant waves cascade toward the lagoon and lake at Laguna Gloria on Lake Austin. The sculpture is done of salvaged fishing rope from lobster men that is dyed and arranged. Interestingly we saw work by this sculptor at Madison Square Park in the last year or so.

This bucolic scene at the mouth of a creek is brought to you by the new boardwalk because otherwise one couldn't get this view except by boat. (I think it may be Blum Creek, by the way.) But...is that a boulder IN the boat?

It really seems to be a little self-conscious for a city to have a Keepin' It Weird Festival (and 5K, always a run involved!) but we do. These gents were passing by our building on their way to said event one day last month.

This long-winded quote (in the style of the one at Jo's on SoCo) says "I love you in a space where there is no place nor time." I think BD might be Bridget Dunlap. She's the brains behind a lot of Rainey Street spots including the bar called Container Bar where this appeared.

This sculpture by Jim Lambie on the grounds of Laguna Gloria (the west Austin outpost of the museum now known as The Contemporary) is called "Secret Affair (Gold)." There's a bit of irony here, I think.

We were part of an opening crowd at the Zach Scott Theater last Sunday for the premiere of a movie called "Fug Sweater." It was also Maria McDonald's 50th birthday (she produced the movie) and actor Gary Busey's 70th birthday. Gary Busey is the blond-headed guy at the lower right. Lots of cheerful spirit when the lights went up after the movie!

What is This?

A picture a day. Every picture taken within the confines of Austin, Texas, U.S.A. More or less. If it isn't a current shot, we will try to note when it was taken. We are part of the City Daily Photo family. Which has a facebook group. Here's the Official View of Austin.
